Margarita Island is the largest of a set of three, which form the Nueva Esparta State of Venezuela. They are located off the mainland of South America, in the waters of the Caribbean Sea, at 11º North and 64º West.
For more than a quarter of a century, Margarita Island has been acquiring a strong personality as a point of attraction in the Caribbean for national and international visitors. Since the beginning of the Free Port, goods of all kinds and from all over the world have been traded. This powerful attraction allowed other aspects of the island to develop as well, such as its history and natural beauties, which began to be available to its visitors. The facilities of all kinds were increased and improved until reaching a high category as a tourist-recreational site of great preference, both nationally and internationally.
